Fill in: 'We ___ retry policies at the mesh layer so every service gets consistent behaviour.'
We 'configure' policy — the standard collocation for setting mesh-level rules. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Overly aggressive retries can ___ a struggling downstream service even further.'
We say retries will 'overload' a service — the standard collocation for compounding an existing failure. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ exponential backoff between retries so failures don't stack instantly.'
We 'apply' backoff — the standard collocation for using a delay strategy between attempts. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ retries only to idempotent calls so a resend can never duplicate an action.'
We 'limit' retries — the standard collocation for restricting where a behaviour applies. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'A retry storm across the mesh can ___ into a full cascading outage.'
We say a retry storm will 'escalate' — the standard collocation for a small issue worsening into a bigger one. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
